    RGB to CMYK conversion in Pitstop

    If the job is color critical conversion should be done in photoshop so to check it and most probably make adjustments. I'm sorry to say that even ''premium'' clients only care for low cost and quick ( quick like deliver tomorrow morning ) service, so converting in photoshop is something i rarely...

    So long Ivar Kamprad

    To be honest the closest example i remember right now, is the ''scrubbing'' ''lottery'' coupons, the ones you have to scrub some surface to reveal if you won something, that doesn't lead to a direct sale of course. - which makes me think if there is some way to get feed back from a campaign...

    Over 50 unemployed Prepress Tech, should I call it quits for printing?

    One ex colleague same age was in your place, finally ( after 2 years...) found a job in a label factory and recently found a good paid one in a similar company. I'm 45 and my age is out of my cv years ago, even though those who consider it significant will ask you before and turn you/us down...

    From employee to freelancer for the same company!

    ''And that would be...?'' It's a combination of the words tragic and laughter ( gelotas in greek ), would sound in english like ''tragelafic'' if you don't mind some language abuse. Both here and from b4print i red a lot of things i should take in consideration before forming a proposal...

    From employee to freelancer for the same company!

    In fact there's a regulation here that cut's down taxes when you're only working for one ''customer'' as a ''freelancer''. It's a win-win situation for management and government, management pushes costs down while government doesn't see unemployment figures go up... I don't know an english word...

    From employee to freelancer for the same company!

    You're right that's why i wrote i should look up what's ''analogue'' to my country's! I know it's better to find employment elsewhere and i've been looking to the last couple of years even harder the last one! I only found lesser paid jobs and in an interview i was asked if i could bring some...

    From employee to freelancer for the same company!

    Happy New Year to every one! Getting straight to the subject. The printshop i'm working finally hit rock bottom - even though we still have a lot of work. The owner moved everything to a ''new'' company and he made new business proposals to the remaining stuff. For me the deal he proposed is...

    Variable images (High-end photos) - who is doing these?

    Pick a couple printers, then give them the same file and see who prints closer to your expectations. If you're looking for optimal sharpening settings for digital, i don't think there's such a recipe, it depends on the photo/scaling and printing conditions combination. If you're set on a...

    Where your jobs come from?

    Thanks all for answering, to be honest i was expecting more answers but it may have to do that this kind of questions may seem a little suspicious to some. Is there any ''formal'' research, you know ( like how much paper is printed anually etc ) so i could have a picture of what's going on in...

    Where your jobs come from?

    One could say that this might have to do with the fact that shops of this size can't afford to have sales department - boss is sales,production manager and the courier sometimes - but on the other hand on the '' good old times '' small shops were organized ( :-P ) the same way. I don't like it...

    Where your jobs come from?

    Can't tell who's beating harder, those who know the trade or those who doesn't... Anyway, i'm more interested how small/middle size shops ( less than 30 people ) are doing, i'm assuming that more and more printing is assigned to printers through these channels. Is there any kind of...

    Where your jobs come from?

    I was thinking that the late five years the majority of our jobs comes from print brokers and ''media agencies'' and we no longer have to do with the final customer. I could estimate that on the ''good times'' before agencies took over an amount like 70% of our jobs was given straight from the...

    No ink required...

    I've done a lot of hair-cutting using adobe's products, way before extract filter came out, but truth is real hair cutting would be more productive in economic terms, so i'll pass haircutter pro when come's out - or wait for v 3.1 :-P On the other hand, i don't find interesting haircutting...

    Income taxes differ a lot in the east/southern edges of the western civilization, but still sounds better than the options i have as a prepress manager/operator/customer and management psychological and technical support... Thanks anyway - even though you have already given this piece of...
